just generally picture the most confident person in the world how does that person breathe how does that person stand how does that person sit how does that person smile how does that person walk install that person inside of yourself become them start from the head down and become very specific how do they how do they hold their fingers do this technique when you enter a situation where you feel like you would need more confidence do not feel weird about this technique it works tip number three remember that 18 40 60 rule the rule goes like
this when you're 18 years old you care about what everybody is thinking about you when you're 40 years old you don't care what anybody is thinking about you and when you're 60 years old you realize that nobody was thinking about you at all see the truth is people spend their days worrying and thinking about themselves so if you're basing your life around what other people think about you quit it they're not tip number four see Legendary football player Deion Sanders once said this you look good you feel good you feel good you play good you
play good they pay good they pay good you live good you live good and you thank God for it all see he started that sequence with looking good so here's the tip if you want to feel more confident then you should look more confident somebody once said you dress like you want to be addressed see it's a truth in this world that people treat you based on how you look and you also treat yourself based on your appearance so put more effort and time into this costume of course the best fashion statement of all is
a nice body so we want to take care of ourselves we want to eat healthy and we want to exercise because you see a nice body shows dedication word of advice though here's a caveat you are not this body so if you attach your whole identity to this body you will suffer because one day this body will go back to where it came from but that doesn't mean you can't play the game look good feel good and you'll be more confident tip number five the five second rule now this tip comes from author TV show
host and friend of mine Mel Robbins she wrote a whole book about the five second rule see when you get that feeling that you want to do something I don't know raise your hand or walk up to somebody doesn't a voice in your head pop up the low confidence voice it says oh what if I get rejected oh what if I fail what if I look stupid here's how you get past that voice once you know what you want to do count down from five five four three two one and then blast off like a
rocket ship and do that thing that you want to do five seconds is specifically important because the longer you wait the louder and louder that low confident voice will become so try the five second rule number six mindfulness you are not the voice in your head I'm gonna say that again you are not the voice in your head if you were the voice in your head then tell it to stop talking see the voice goes on and on mindfulness is about observing the voice and knowing that the voice is not you I want you to
spend some time being quiet and just observing just witnessing the voice inside of your head and what it's saying I want you to assume that every time you get upset every time you feel angry there is a harsh voice inside of your head that is present a famous psychologist once said we are never responding to a situation we are always responding to our conversation in our head about it see there is a reason why world-class athletes like Kobe Bryant had mindfulness coaches because they understood if you if you conquer this you can conquer this they
understood that that the war the game on the field or the court is really one between the six inches between the ears and just like that the game of life is one between those same six inches every thought that you have I'm bad I really suck I'm not confident picture these thoughts like clouds coming and going you are the witness of the clouds if you were that thought I'm bad I suck then when that thought passed you would go too but that doesn't happen you are there to witness the thoughts of I'm angry I'm sad
I'm happy meaning you are Beyond those thoughts you are more powerful than those thoughts stay as the pure witness without believing or buying into these thoughts do not remain loyal you are not under any contract to stay loyal to these thoughts these thoughts do not serve you so why do you continue to serve them so many of us know that the Mind affects the body but few of us know that the body also affects the mind if you want to be more confident then you have to outsmart your mind by changing your physiology and that
means putting your body into a more confident position what happens if you go like this what happens if you go like this and say yes see these are power poses before you have to go into an interview or any situation where you feel less confident about I want you to do power poses for five minutes in the mirror stand in front of that mirror and put your hands up and say yes what you're gonna do is you're gonna trick your body into thinking that you just want something and so you're gonna become happier you're going
to become more confident and then I want you to put your hands on your hips chest out this is the Superman pose this is probably one of the most powerful power poses there is and I want you to repeat this affirmation I am confident I am powerful I am poised I am articulate repeat that affirmation and watch your whole mood shift see the key is to say these words like you believe it say them with energy don't say them weekly say them with say them like you mean it because when you say them aloud there

see sometimes we forget how far we have actually come and so we have to appreciate the small wins do not play yourself you have accomplished a lot I want you to put this list strategically put it around your house put it on your refrigerator or somewhere where you will see it so you want to be more confident well where under what circumstances I want you to close your eyes and visualize yourself there what do you see what do you hear what do you smell what do you feel the more Vivid your senses are the better
this will work did you know that the Mind cannot tell the difference between reality and the vivid imagination it's true a study done at the University of Chicago proves it see they did a test where they tested three groups and their ability to shoot free throws the first group was given the task of shooting free throws every day for an hour the second group was given the task of visualizing themselves making the free throws and the third group did nothing after 30 days the first group improved by 24 percent second group improved by 23 percent
and the last group didn't improve at all visualization works so picture yourself in that situation where you want to be more confident if you do this repetitively when you actually get to that situation your brain will say I know exactly what to do I've been here before now we can't talk about confidence without talking about mood and we can't talk about mood without talking about food have you ever been hangry before well if you have then you realize just how strongly food can affect your mood you know serotonin this happy chemical for many years scientists

now before you guys go I'm gonna give you a bonus exercise every day I want you to do something stupid now do something legal but do something stupid because as they say your fear of looking stupid is holding you back do something like get a piece of string or a leash and tie a paper clip or a toy dog to it and walk it around the street you'll see people's faces you'll see people laughing but this will give you more freedom and more confident confidence in yourself do something stupid every day do something out of
the box because ultimately if you want to be more confident then you can't take life too seriously because as the old saying goes nobody gets out alive thank you guys for watching peace
